When should I avoid AI-For-Beginners?

Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

When should I avoid Chain-of-ThoughtsPapers?

If your focus is on unrelated areas such as image processing or speech recognition, where chain-of-thought reasoning in LLMs does not directly play a role. For projects requiring immediate practical coding implementations — this repository primarily focuses on research and theoretical underpinnings rather than ready-to-use software libraries or codebases In scenarios necessitating alternative approaches to language model training which do not emphasize step-by-step reasoning, such as models trained purely for pattern recognition without emphasis on a what_is_missing
